Overview

  • Pixel 10’s camera app now embeds C2PA Content Credentials into each JPEG at the moment of capture.
  • Google Photos appends fresh credentials for any edits, including those performed with AI tools, to preserve an image’s history.
  • Security measures include StrongBox/Titan M2 key storage, Android Key Attestation, one-time-use keys per image, and trusted on-device timestamps.
  • The system functions offline and uses per-image keys intended to prevent cross-image traceability and protect user anonymity.
  • The rollout is limited to Pixel 10 at launch, with Google calling for wider ecosystem adoption and providing no timeline for other Android devices.
